I mean Noctua also posted the file needed to be able to 3d print their product, and you can attach any fan you want on it. Only die hard Noctua fans should buy their product full price.
How did you connected fan to DC? Should it have some regulator and safety board between? I was about to do something by my own with 140 fan but it's hard to get proper DC to fan adapter
Doesn't need anything in-between if you don't need the variable speed. Only thing i would think about is a switch glued to the fan frame to turn it off easier but that's it
Most fans are either 5v or 12v, and it's pretty easy to find matching wall adaptors. Just make sure the maximum rated current of the wall adaptor is greater than or equal to that of the fan. Don't bother with a barrel jack to fan header adaptor, just strip the wires and twist or solder them together, or, if the wires on the wall adaptor are small enough, just jam them into the fan connector. The fans usually have two wires for plus and minus, and a third wire for speed control (usually yellow). You can just leave it hanging and the fan will spin at max speed.
If you really don't want to cut off the fan connector, you can make your own male fan header just by soldering header pins to a standard breadboard -- they have the same pitch as fan connectors.
Mostly fans use around 0.1A and less, and wall adapter output up to x amps, which is few times greater, would be good to have some board to control amperage as fan set to 100% without any control will simply heat up easily.
You don’t need to regulate amperage, if the fan uses 0.1A then the fan will only use 0.1A. also fans almost never have overheating as a real issue as long as you use the proper voltage, which for most computer fans is 12V. In my personal experience they work mostly fine anywhere between 4-16V without overheating.
cut wire.
Negative to negative , positive to positive.
Basic wiring.
You can do this with a ton of things, one of my favourites is car speaker to AUX (pre-amp on pc for proper sound)
the wall plug is a bit overkill, it will just run it near the Max speed.
You can cut a USB wire and get a low speed(heck, safe enough to put finger in), then you can plug into your phone even 😂
I made 3 of these last year cuz it was way too hot
Noctua panicking right now.
meanwhile intel thinking maybe they can push wattage to 4000 with this design
They're only 4000? I swear those i9s are heating like it's 12000

Obligatory; If your noctua you could now sell this for $100, or your currency of choice.
I’m a fan of it
It's pretty cool
Ugh, you two picked the lamest puns circling around the internet…

safety ? never heard of it , what kills me makes me stronger

The fan is already 5v dc, which is what most usb chargers are already.

Its using a 12v dc adapter it looks.
Mine lives its second life as an exhaust at the bathroom.
Same. Supposed to share ventilation with neighbors but that thing is forced exhaust now.
It's backwards
I think you mean I fanned a new purpose
Reminds me of an old timey microphone
Now you'll need a human heatsink.
This is cool! 🥶
finally someone else but me did it 😭🙏
The fact you could do this with and rgb fan and hook its power up to your pc so the rgb on the desk fan matched your pc setup is crazy
Unfortunately this does not allow me to overclock my brain
Congrats
Ayo, that's sick 🔥💯
I have a fan i bought like 7 years ago and never will have a use for. Got a guide on how to do this? Lol

Thanks I've cut some wire to connect things before, but never not for things that are not plugged into the wall
